Have you ever been swept off your feet, only to feel like the rug was pulled out from under you soon after? This episode uncovers the tumultuous cycle of idealization and devaluation in relationships, a pattern that's often played out when someone is placed on a pedestal only to be brought down harshly. We explore the psychological underpinnings of this cycle, specifically within the context of Cluster B personality disorders.

Join us as we embark on a journey to understand these emotional roller-coasters and learn how to create supportive and nurturing relationships from the turbulence.
